It has already made its mark in Great Britain 

 The self cocking is effected by the raising of the 

 breech ends of the barrels for loading, and works 

 smoothly and without requiring much force to open 

 the gun and cock the locKs. There is a safety bolt 

 at the side which answers for half cock. The 

 mechanism of this action is exceedingly strong 

 and simple, and is better suited for hard work than 

 any other gun in use.
